'The Politician' Review: Electoral Satire Gets a Vote of No Confidence
It’s a particularly busy moment for Lange, in other words, though she’s happy that, some four-plus decades into a career in front of and behind the camera, she can still find ways to scratch that creative itch. “I’ll have moments when I think, ‘Oh it’s all meaningless,'” she admits, before leaning in and breaking into a radiant, straight-outta-smile. “But then I’ll see a photo from the book or catch a scene I’m in from one of [Ryan’s] shows, and I think: Well, I did what I set out to do.

You could play her every day for the rest of your life and never come to the end of it.
